This ratio is calculated by dividing a company’s market value by its revenue or total sales over the last 12 months. The lower the ratio, the more attractive the investment becomes.

What’s Happening on the XRP Front?
XRP price has been under increasing pressure since December 2020, when the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and co-founder Chris Larsen, alleging that the company raised $1.3 billion through unregistered securities offerings via XRP token sales.
The case drew more attention in July 2023 when Judge Analisa Torres decided that XRP is not a security, but rather the decision pertained only to the specific sales on crypto asset exchanges. The judge also ruled that XRP is a security when sold to institutional investors who meet the conditions of the Howey Test.
According to a court filing dated March 25, the SEC proposed that Ripple pay a total of $1.95 billion in civil penalties based on its continued sale of XRP after legal warnings, challenging the laws.
